- Plage de Hammam-Lif (Hammam-Lif Beach) — a small, sandy town beach where locals swim, picnic and launch fishing boats; great for a low-key sunset and watching everyday coastal life.
- Aïn El Hammam (the thermal springs and baths) — the natural springs that gave the town its name; even if you don’t take a formal soak, the area around the springs is a neat glimpse into the town’s long bathing culture.
- Oued (Wadi) Miliane estuary and palm-lined banks — the river mouth and its small green corridor meet the sea here; the mix of water, palms and fishing craft is peaceful and surprisingly photogenic.
- Hammam-Lif old town (medina) and souk streets — narrow alleys, little shops and cafés where you can try street food, buy basic provisions, and see real daily life beyond tourist spots.
- Fishing port

- Fishing port and fish market — a working small harbor where you can watch fishermen unload their catch; buy fresh fish or just soak up the dockside atmosphere.
- Coastal corniche and promenade — a short seaside walk that links beaches, cafés and viewpoints; ideal for a morning jog or a lazy coffee with the sea on view.
- French-colonial villas and architecture walk — quiet streets with old villas and period details; an easy self-guided stroll to see how the town grew during the 19th-20th century.
- Hammam-Lif train station and station-area life — the local rail stop is a handy, atmospheric place to watch commuter rhythms and to catch trains to Tunis or down the coast; the area around the station has simple cafés and bakeries worth sampling.
- Traditional public hammams — several small, functioning bathhouses still serve locals; visiting (even just to observe the exterior and neighborhood) gives a real sense of local routines and culture.
- Municipal park / waterfront gardens — green public spaces where families gather, kids play and vendors sell snacks; good for a relaxed break after wandering the medina or beach.
